Question

A mixture of 15.0 g of aluminum sulfide and 10.0 g of water reacts according to the following equation:

Answer 1

(a) The mass of hydrogen sulfide produced in the reaction is 9.44 g.

(b) Water is the limiting reagent in the given reaction.

Mass of hydrogen sulfide produced

Al2S3 + 6H2O ---> 2Al(OH)3 + 3H2S

mass of water in the reaction = 6(18 g/mol) = 108 g/mol

mass of hydrogen sulfide in the reaction: = 3(34) = 102 g/mol

108 g/mol of H2O ------- > 102 g/mol of H2S

10 of H2O -----------> ?

= 9.44 g

Aluminum sulfide will be completely consumed by the reaction while some fraction of water will remain. Thus, water is the limiting reagent in the given reaction.
